Custom T-1's: A Favorable Review

These weren't exactly what I had pictured in my head when ordering the custom, but I came to love them. They served me well and look pretty good at the end, though not as drastic as others in the comp. Frank's is one of my favorite makers, will be getting many more pairs.

More about this item

The leather is buttery smooth but solid, showing a lot of character within the first month of wear. The construction is next level, as expected from Frank's. The #4 toe took a bit to get used to, aesthetically, but I warmed to it. Very comfortable with the higher arch support.

I love the look of the taller #4 toes on flat soles, ala Farmer/Ranchers. I tried to replicate that with these, but my initial ask of a leather toe puff ended up being celastic, and they arrived the day before the late entry, so I let it ride. They ended up being that much more unique amongst my collection.
